Word on the street is that Elephant Man and Vybz Kartel are both moving into a caravan parked behind Debenhams in Harrow to make their new albums.

Has that ever worked?

I read recently that REM were recording their new album in the Bahamas.

big sodding dud. i need a small almost entirely empty room with a single window, some beer, several packets of cigarettes and a recording device of some kind. any luxury and the inspiration dissipates

That doesn't mean it wasn't classic in that case

B52s in Nassau = classic!

If someone would like to pay for it, I'll try it...

(That said, a week in a cottage in Wiltshire produced an entire album's worth of tracks, but that could have been a combination of Reason and the rain.)

I spent half a day in Hospital in Feb, and managed to write four...

Isn't this how the first Tom Tom Club album came about? If so, then classic.

(you mean tropical paradise, not hospital, right?)
